Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 3541.02, carrying pupils from Haywards Heath to Brantridge School. The requirement is for a vehicle with four passenger seats and one passenger assistant (PA). The work is school transport, rather than a general taxi service, and its route and passenger-assistant requirement define the operating need. The buyer is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. Delivery is associated with Haywards Heath and Brantridge School in West Sussex.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ROADRUNNERS MECO LTD. The award was made on 21 August 2026. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with an awarded value of £40,107.94. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The original tender deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was presented as a single route, with four seats and one passenger assistant; the award covers the route. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process data.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated school taxi transport from Haywards Heath to Brantridge School, with a passenger assistant as well as vehicle capacity for four passengers. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to operate the route reliably, provide suitable passenger transport capacity and supply an appropriately capable passenger assistant. The selected supplier, ROADRUNNERS MECO LTD, is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller transport business was able to fulfil the requirement. The call-off route indicates that suppliers seeking comparable work from this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through its dynamic purchasing system. The commercial opportunity is therefore relevant to operators with school-transport capability and capacity for a small, defined route.
